The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

[xizenta]

I have been out of the game for about 5 or 6 years now. I have some suiting I bought almost ten years ago which I never made up. Do any of the HK tailors do a good job replicating the cut and construction of an existing jacket (attolini) so that I don't have to fly out? If so, are they comfortable using customer-supplied materials? Thanks for the information.

I don't think any tailor can duplicate anything 100%. Some tailors accept customer's materials and some don't so youy wuill need to ask the tailor you are using? Who are you using?

I'm not using one at the moment. I'm looking for one to make a pattern from my favorite jacket and accept my materials so I can move some of the stuff I've been sitting on for a decade. Looking for recommendations.

I've used Gordon Yao in the past but have not used him for some time (at least 8 years). I've used Ascot Chang the last several years and they accept customer's materials. Are you located in HK?

No, I'm in California. If I was in HK I would just go get fitted and have them make something from their own patterns. I want to just send them a jacket to work off of so I don't have to fly around. Went to HK in 2012 not planning on going back any time soon.

If you are near San Francisco area you can try Spoon Tailors and if in the Lois Angeles area people here on this forum seem to give good marks to Divij bespoke formerly Hermajani Tailors. I know Spoon takes customer's materials.

Thank you for the recommendations. Yes I had a good result from Hemrajani before. He did not work with customer materials though.

That's a great idea you had there, you thought just like a genius. Now wew have all the Hong Kong tailor threads in a single place.

Curious how much Trousers are at the following HK folks these days:

Gordon Yao
WW Chan
Prologue

I did custom pants at WW Chan 4 years ago, for about 5000 HKD with linen fabric.

I am actually wearing them now, the quality is excellent (but I regret making them out of linen haha).

Why regret?

If anyone else is looking for a tailor who can copy a jacket/trousers. Just send me a message. We can do that for you.

• 100% handmade in Italy
• Made the same way as an bespoke garment
• One fitting as an option or completely finished
• Send us your fabrics or we will order it for you

I'm going to Hong Kong for 12 days in October. I would like to have a suit made there. Since I have relatively normal body measurements and am not looking for anything too exotic, I am wondering whether MTM makes more sense than a real bespoke suit. I could then invest the money in fabrics and quality.
I am looking for a classic grey suit, British style, fitted, full-canvassed.
Can you recommend a tailor in Hong Kong for this? And what do I have to spend for a good result?
Or is the MTM idea stupid and I would be better off going for Bespoke?

Best thanks

It would help to know what your price range is and since your measurements are pretty normal does RTW make more sense?

I am in the Bay Area. About five years ago I wandered in to Spoon Tailors because I happened to be
in the neighborhood. Asked what the process/price was for a tweed sport coat. They said they didn't
make tweed sport coats. Odd. At the time I guessed that the very Neapolitan Belvest sport coat I was
wearing was something they were unwilling or unable to reproduce. Not that I specified that I wanted
the garment copied.
